This kinda friend

Robin quivers and Howard Stern

"They put me on the phone with Robin,..and we started to be somewhat
conversant. I mean, right off the bat we were just kind of like asking
each other questions... (chokes back tears) We made a connection.

It was
instantaneous. I said: ‘I can do anything. With this woman, I know
it’ll work.’...Within five minutes I knew this was the woman I wanted to
spend my career with. I was in love with her from the first
conversation....It was an instant click. And we had years when things
were rough, and when I say rough, in terms of radio it doesn’t get any
rougher…

The entire time Robin and I were going through this mill, no
matter how bad things got, I knew Robin had my back…She was offered
money to go work with other people.

If somebody attacked me or a boss
got me down, I’d go to Robin and I’d say ‘I can’t do this anymore. I
can’t take it’. She would say ‘of course we can do it’. When Jackie
would threaten me every week with leaving the show and R knewI was so
disturbed about it, she’d say: ‘We don’t need anyone else…’…She was my
backbone. Y’understand? Where I would lose courage, Robin always has the
courage.

She always is the brave one—always the brave one with me. I
could go to her and—(starts to break down) you know, I could always rely
on her...To have a friend like that, I wish it for anybody who is in
business—when you have somebody like that you can rely on.”
